Trans Am Trucking lease purchase is a scam, and rip off. I know I tried them for 8 mos. You cannot take time off, if you do you will be in the hole. I did all I could with this company, I finally figu Olathe, Kansas
Trans Am a complete rip off! Beware of any lease purchase contract. I got my final settlement. It equal $00.00 balance. Do not understand how we could break even when I have $900.00 in my maintenance account, and $400.00 in my performance account. They have have some of the best accountants! We will have to show them what its like to be responsible. Trans Am is all about taking advantage of so-called owner operators. I got my own truck now with a payment of $1100.00 per month, compared to $2400.00 per month with them. It is 3 years older than theirs but a much better truck. Also, I do not worry about a dispacther giving me miles. I dispatch myself. Miles don't matter anymore, I am home every other day, or whenever I want to be, and making a lot more money. Beware of company's like Trans Am. You are better off as a company driver, rather than a lease purchase operator!

lots of people do just fine in the lease program. I averaged $1,800 to $2,200 a week & made money back when i filed taxes. I just got tired of living in a truck so I quit.
My main complaints with them:
1. they lost one of my BOLs & the girl in payroll said, "sometimes they show up". I had to call the shipper myself to get them to fax it.
2. The guy that teaches safety, claims to have never been in an accident. However, after I dropped a trailer, he admitted to me he dropped a trailer before too.
3. During training, they will instruct their drivers to absolutely never swerve to miss an object on the highway. They called it like a "maintain lane rule".
They specifically say that it even applies even if it is a car with a mother & kids. They will instruct you to literally ram your truck into them, word for word, "hit a car full of kids if they are in your lane; maintain your lane no matter what". No lie
